your from a country that smacked down the Romans, The Spanish, The French and the Nazi's! And in a certain way, your own selves! and even then, you still kicked off something pretty cool! Anyway, it's tea time here in abut 30 mins, So, I'm off to put the kettle on! Anyway, hope this day finds a moment that lightens your heart..
I have to correct you man. the Romans invaded most of Europe, including the UK. Our natives were celtic people, druids and there is no way we defeated the mighty Roman Empire..sorry that's not true..Modern Brits are descended from the Romans who took us over.. just like they took everyone else over. London is a roman named City etc.
The Spanish didn't get a chance to invade as the weather turned against them and all their armada sank before they got a chance to land on Briton, if they had of landed, who knows. But the Brits did not ever defeat the Spanish as such...it was bad luck that got the Spanish.
Also we didn't beat the French, they beat us. William the conqueror was from Normandy in France, as were all his soldiers, "the Norman's," i am a decedent of them. They killed the English king Harold and took over Briton in 1066 at the battle of Hastings. A fact British people don't like to remember.
As for the Nazis... lucky for us we had the English channel between us and continental Europe, something that did make it much harder for an invading army. If we had of been linked to Europe..have no doubt Hitler would have rolled right over us as well, we also had the states as allies etc. Sorry to smash your illusions of Briton, we did have an empire, the biggest on in history but we have been invaded repeatedly through history.edit on 12-4-2013 by TheBlackHat because: (no reason given)

A couple of historical accounts incorrect.
The Romans conquered the majority of England, except for Cornwall. They didn't conquer Wales entirely and built a wall because they couldn't conquer Scotland.
USA didn't join the war until 1942. The Battle of Britain was won by then and that is what saved Britain from being invaded.
The Russians actually won WWII, they were the first to Berlin and they were the ones to raise their flag first.
But yes the rest spot on!!

Ok I'm an american and to be honest I don't know much about your Parliament but from they way you guys sound it would seem they are just like our government in some regards. They flood your country with immigrants who kill your employment opportunities or markets with cheap labor they then give these immigrants befits payed from your pockets while these people do not contribute, Identity thief is everywhere, Because of the large number of immigrants voting has become a nightmare and heavily favors one political party due to them catering to the new immigrants which almost outnumber the people who's families have been in the country for generations.
I'm I getting warm? Or I'm I completely off? Couple all that with a failing economy and the fact your political figures will not pass a budget to stop the bleeding and if they do its a joke. Add a sprinkle of laws that heavily favor these new immigrants in the work force over citizens that families have been in the country for generations.

well not as straightforward about that- if it was Russia V Germany, who knows how that would have played out, fact is the Germans were fighting a whole lot of fronts- no bugger won it in my opinion, too many rotting corpses and bereaved families in all the nations involved

I might get shot down here;
Do I think it's a bad thing getting people on benefits to work for their money? No, I honestly don't. If they're desperate enough, they'll do anything. What I wholeheartedly disagree worth, is the work they're doing. Cleaning caravans?! Why not fixing computers or plumbing or heck, engineering (an industry were crying out for)

The Nazis' - All you man. They didn't get a toe hold, because you have this peerless bunch of people known as the R.A.F. - Per Adura ad Astrum! The channel was nothing. Without air superiority, it was impassable. I believe you and some friends were able to demonstrate that to the Nazi's just a short while later.
